Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"This must be a gift from the Hokage to the village's ninja clan."

“Each company has acquired some shops. The commercial street is still under adjustment. As for how well it will operate, we can only wait and see with our continued efforts.”

“Some clansmen lack ninja talent, but their descendants may inherit outstanding ninja skills.”

"In that case, let everyone choose freely."

"The life of a ninja should not be too comfortable. In the future, the clan's territory will become a place of inheritance, which will attract more clan members to embark on the path of ninja."

Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat surprised, but he nodded in agreement. This was similar to what he had thought, and he even considered moving to the shrine.

Since they have separated, the clan's territory needs to be an attractive place so that the clan members can be better led. The Nanga Shrine has a long history and is a very good place to carry on the tradition.

"Very well, that's settled then. I'll give the Hokage an answer tomorrow."

"Currently, the police department is serving as the work area, and construction is also about to begin at the Nanga Shrine."

"Clan members who aspire to pursue the ultimate power of the Uchiha can choose this side."

“There is no easy life here. If you come here, you must be prepared. Even in times of peace, I will not relax my requirements for my people.”

Some of the older clansmen hesitated to speak, but Fugaku Uchiha ignored them and activated his three-tomoe Sharingan. The oppressive aura emanating from him caused everyone to bow their heads in respect.

Uchiha Shisui was pleased with this decision. He paid no attention to the clan leader's Sharingan and pondered silently with his head down:

"Is this considered helping my senior?"

-

It was another sunny day. The Shadow Rock was more than half completed, which also symbolized that Konoha Village had fully entered the era of the Fourth Hokage.

The textbooks at the ninja academy have been expanded to include the victorious nation of the Third Shinobi World War, who single-handedly fought against the other four great nations, which excites the children.

Tsunade was not interested in the new textbooks and completed her approval process early on.

Dealing with government affairs every day was very tedious, but fortunately, she had her disciples with her, which helped her get through the adjustment period.

Inside the Hokage Building, everyone bowed to greet Tsunade. Judging from her appearance alone, the Fourth Hokage was still very young.

Some staff members still feel a little uneasy. The old men have disappeared from this building, and the two advisors and Danzo of Root have not shown up for almost two months.

Upon entering the room and seeing the stack of documents on the desk, Tsunade immediately sighed. Then she saw Furukawa Osamu already waiting for her with the Hokage robes. As she moved closer, she muttered to herself:

"Why is there so much work every day?"

"Is the Hokage just someone who signs and stamps documents all day long?"

"I really want to take a few months off..."

Furukawa Osamu helped Tsunade put on her cloud robe. Upon hearing "rest," he immediately smiled, put his arm around his teacher's shoulder, and forcefully led her behind the desk before speaking up to remind her:

"Teacher, you haven't been in office for two months yet, so of course you'll be busy during this time."

"There shouldn't be so many things to do in a year. As long as there is no war, the village can develop step by step."

"I see! No wonder Sarutobi-sensei aged so quickly!"

Tsunade sat down and complained under her breath. Noticing that Furukawa Osamu was looking at her, she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly. Just as she was about to continue complaining, she heard a voice praising her:

"The teacher is getting more and more beautiful! There's no need to worry about aging."

"Want to get beaten up, you bastard!"

Tsunade waved her fist somewhat embarrassedly, realizing that her disciple seemed to be "taking an inch and wanting a mile," having actually put his arm around her waist after their training last night.

Although it was only for a short while, Tsunade began to worry that she would get used to it sooner or later.

Just as Tsunade was about to reprimand her disciple, Furukawa Osamu suppressed his smile and whispered a reminder:

"Teacher, Chief Fugaku will be arriving soon; it should be about the relocation of the clan members."

When Fugaku Uchiha entered the room, Tsunade had already returned to normal. Upon hearing that he planned to "divide" the clan's territory into three parts, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Lord Hokage, the clansmen who migrated to the Naka Shrine all sought greater strength."

“Some undeveloped lands can be used for spiritual practice. In peacetime, we must be even more strict with ourselves.”

"There are also some herbs that are more suitable for cultivation at the shrine. The police department should maintain the status quo, and the clansmen can choose freely."

Upon hearing these words, Tsunade felt that the Uchiha clan was splitting apart. Noticing that Fugaku Uchiha didn't seem reluctant, she immediately responded solemnly:

"The village respects the Uchiha clan's choice."

"Some policies in the past may have caused you misunderstandings, but that's all in the past."

"Any difficulties you encounter can be reported to the village."

Tsunade frankly acknowledged the problems with past policies, which greatly pleased Fugaku Uchiha, who bowed in gratitude. They then discussed the development of herbs and medicines.

Even without war, medicine must not be stopped!

In addition to taking medicine, Fugaku Uchiha also plans to turn the Naka Shrine into a "place of ascetic training." By doing both, he hopes to maintain the current rate of awakening the Sharingan among the Uchiha clan.

"Shu, thank you for teaching Itachi during this time."

"By this time next year, Itachi should be able to train at the Naka Shrine. I'll need your help then."

Before leaving, Fugaku Uchiha expressed his gratitude once again, and Osamu Furukawa found it difficult to comment on this father:

"Itachi's talent is outstanding. Clan Chief Fugaku need not worry. He is destined to become an excellent ninja."

Fugaku Uchiha was overjoyed to hear Osamu Furukawa's praise. His son had lived up to his expectations; although he was only three years old, he was already able to absorb ninja knowledge!

After handing a scroll to Furukawa Osamu, Uchiha Fugaku left with high spirits, intending to make a big splash during this migration.

"The Fugaku clan chief has put a lot of thought into the selection of the secret service members; they've chosen only young people."

"Teacher, you can take a look at the mission history. It's the Hokage's direct subordinate ANBU. You just need to have a simple greeting with Lord Orochimaru."

Tsunade didn't look at the scroll, glanced sideways at her disciple, then immediately stood up and pointed menacingly at Furukawa Osamu's chest:

"Remember to respect your teacher! Don't think that just because you're better than me you can..."

As Tsunade's voice trailed off, Furukawa Osamu noticed the change in his teacher's expression and readily agreed. He then helped her back to her seat, supporting her by the shoulder.

"Teacher, let's get started on today's work! My shadow clone will be here this afternoon, so don't leave the work until Friday."

After grumbling a few times, Tsunade reluctantly picked up the documents. Suddenly, she realized she had forgotten to remind her disciple of the precautions after completing her training. After a moment of contemplation, she began to comfort herself:

"Last night must have been an accident..."

-

The "split" within the Uchiha clan had a huge impact. After Fugaku Uchiha made his decision publicly, the other ninja clans in the village were all very surprised when they heard the news.

After the Fourth Hokage took office, everyone was observing, but unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan's problem was resolved in less than two months.

Ordinary clansmen integrate into the village, guards can remain in their existing residential areas, while elite members go to the Nanga Shrine for ninja ascetic training.

While most ninjas began to "focus on missions" and enjoy life, the Uchiha did not lose their way.

Before the relocation even began, many Konoha ninjas were already praising Fugaku Uchiha's brilliant decision!

Tsunade didn't care about the Uchiha clan's choice. In her opinion, even if they rebelled now, Furukawa Osamu alone could suppress most of the members.

As her training deepened, Tsunade also sensed Furukawa Osamu's inhuman strength. Every night she absorbed so much Sage Chakra, yet her disciple remained completely unharmed...

As the current genius of the clan, Uchiha Shisui naturally chose to go to the Naka Shrine. He thought his father would go with him, but he was somewhat disappointed.

In the dense forest in the afternoon, Shisui told Furukawa Osamu that his father had chosen to stay in the existing clan territory, and whispered the inside story:

"My father was probably jealous of my talent. When my Sharingan evolved to the three-tomoe stage, he suddenly became more irritable."

“Similar situations have occurred within the clan, and this separation can also be described as a different kind of ‘split’.”

"But I still think it's a good thing. A new Uchiha will be born because of this, and eventually replace the twisted Uchiha of the past."

Only then did Osamu Furukawa understand Fugaku Uchiha's choice: to embrace the new generation and abandon the self-pitying "old guy."

"Time will heal all wounds. Once the clan's territory at the Nanga Shrine is completed, training will be much easier."

"Let's have an illusion duel today! Let's see if you've improved during this time."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Furukawa Osamu with surprise, putting aside his grievances, activating his three-tomoe Sharingan, and responding with a smile on his face again:

"Senior, be careful! The Sharingan has a huge advantage in genjutsu!"

When their eyes met, Shisui inexplicably felt that Furukawa Osamu's black pupils seemed to have changed color.

A few minutes later, the boy, clutching his knees and panting heavily, looked up at Furukawa Osamu with an incredulous expression.

"Why is my eye power suppressed? Senior, what did you do?"

"Just a special use of chakra!"

Osamu Furukawa wasn't lying. Although he hadn't activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, it didn't prevent him from using Indra's chakra through special organs to perform genjutsu.

"As expected of Shisui, possessing such eye power is truly remarkable!"

"You will need to continue practicing this kind of illusion technique. I will try my best to help you make better use of the special chakra in your brain."

Seeing how easily Furukawa Osamu made the arrangements, Shisui once again showed a look of reverence, nodding vigorously while secretly clenching his fist:

"I need to get serious, this help isn't enough! I must keep up with my seniors!"

Chapter 138 Going Mad for "Love" (No Main Character)

At the end of July, the turbulent Kirigakure finally ceased its fighting, and the position of Fourth Mizukage was ultimately obtained by the reformist Yagura Karatachi.

Not much news about the selection and competition spread, and Kirigakure continued its policy of secrecy. After Elder Yuanshi announced the news, Kirigakure went "closed" again.

The other four major ninja villages routinely congratulated the new Mizukage. Without discussing how Yagura Karatachi came to power, he was recognized by the Land of Water, making him a legitimate Mizukage.

Konoha paid no attention to the Fourth Mizukage, but when Obito Uchiha in Amegakure heard the news, his crimson Sharingan flashed with killing intent.

In Obito's view, the Hidden Mist ninjas were the real culprits behind the deaths of Rin Nohara and Kakashi, and he would never let the Hidden Mist Village go!

-

Rain Village gradually returned to normal. Under the gloomy sky, Konan leaned on the railing at the top of the tower, gazing at the village.

"It's uncertain whether life can return to pre-war levels; some people are even struggling to obtain food..."

The girl suddenly lowered her head and sighed. Nagato came to her friend's side and they gazed at the view together. After a moment of silence, she responded expressionlessly:

"The transformation is complete, and everything will pass."

"Only in this way can this country be reborn. In some ways, the death of ninjas actually reduces the burden on the village."

Konan turned to look at Nagato. The gentle companion of the past seemed to have died along with Yahiko and the others. The current Nagato was so cold-hearted in some ways that it frightened her.

"Konan, you did a great job. With normal missions restored, Amegakure has weathered this crisis."

"Once I have fully mastered the Six Paths Technique and improved the puppet, it will be time for the Konoha ninja to feel pain."

As Nagato finished speaking, a look of pain appeared on his face. He still couldn't get over Yahiko's death. To die in despair during a hopeful ceremony was suffocating just to think about it.

"Should we really trust that Uchiha Madara?"

"He seems to be just using you."

Konan grew increasingly worried about her friend's attack on Konoha. It seemed like suicide; an individual's strength couldn't shake a ninja village.

Just as Nagato was about to respond, a vortex suddenly appeared behind the two of them, and Obito Uchiha calmly appeared, looking at them with his scarlet eyes and giving a simple reply:

"Use? I think forming an alliance is a more accurate description."

"Konoha also has its weak moments. With my help, Nagato can easily break through the barrier."

"For someone who has mastered the Six Paths Technique, destroying a village is not a problem."

Obito Uchiha confidently gave his answer, and seeing that Konan still showed no sign of trust, he simply began to tout himself again:

"No one can limit my power!"

"If you have time, you can come with me to the Land of Water."

"The so-called five great ninja villages are equally vulnerable in the face of absolute power, and the Land of Water will also become our vassal."

When Konan heard that the other party was actually targeting the Mizukage, she was so surprised that she fell silent.

Kirigakure is, after all, one of the five great ninja villages. Even in its decline, it is still stronger than Amegakure. The spirit that Obito displayed made Konan begin to waver.

"After the puppet is modified, we will accompany you to Kirigakure."

"I hope you won't let us down. I hope this can be considered a test before attacking Konoha."
